Volkswagen T25 / T3 Devon Caravette Camper Model History
Circa 1985 Devon introduced the T25 / T3 Volkswagen Devon Caravette. With ingenious design it had up to seven forward facing seats and sleeping for up to five people using optional roof bed boards and cab bunk. It came as standard with either a newly available solid sided insulated “Space Top” roof or a side elevating “Double Top” pop top roof. A high top “Hi-Top” fixed roof was available as an option. The interior had a forward / rearward facing rear seat, a fold out cooker storage unit, a dual position sink, drainer and fridge unit and the rear seat converted into a 3/4 width double bed. The Devon Caravette was available with water cooled diesel and petrol engine options.
